• The line may enter from either side, rear or floor
within the shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The line may pass through the same hole as the

pass through power cord hole.

• Install a hand shut-off valve in an accessible location,
such as under the sink. (Optional, but strongly
recommended and may be required by local codes.)
• Water connection is on the left side of the dish-
washer. Install the hot water inlet line, using no less
than 3/8” O.D. copper tubing. Route the line as shown
in Figure F and extend forward at least 18" from rear
• Adjust water heater for 120°F to 150°F temperature.
• Flush water line to clean out debris.
• The hot water supply line pressure must be 20-120 PSI.
CAUTION:

washer to tip forward.

are ready to install the dishwasher. If it is
necessary to open the door, hold
the top of the dishwasher securely
with one hand and hold the door
with the other hand.

released, increase spring tension. If the door closes
when released, decrease tension.
